Okay Mr. Pusherman, you've got a bunch of people hooked now and they're starting to come down.
I need more!!!
for sure, this is on my bucket list! I did the Tokyo Auto Salon, but this would be way better for Miata nuts like us!!Originally Posted by etikoner
Omg I wanna go to this meet at least once in my life.
Sorry, but I cannot take credit for these photos guys, this is all Rod (see the first post), all I did was pester the hell outta him to go to the event this year becasue it was the 20th Anniversary and I knew it would be bigger than usual! hahhaa
More on the way, hang on folks!!
People were asking for more pics of the Zoom roadster. A lot of the roadster owners here in Japan like to make their cars look like other European cars, in this case a Elan.
Here is the interior! of the same car..... ugh!
Check out the sexy black Nakamae seats and the super cool Zoom center console! Two very nice retro touches!!
Here is a NB Mazda MX5 Roadster Coupe , customized by Barchetta, and made to look like an Aston Martin.
I would have got better pics but the cars were packed in tight and the crowd was crazy!!
Just for your NC guys...............
On the performace side we have the Nopro NC MX5 with it's Supercharged MZR engine, good for around 290hp!!
here is a shot of the engine bay.
My favorite car at the event had to be the Joyfast NC MX5
The last time I saw this Miata it was running the first gen NC front. Isaji-san decided to give the car a facelift.
This thing oozes sickness with that odula front bumper and Vary hood and sides.
The extra pricey (but very functional) Voltex wing and modded NA Roadster tail lights complete the look.
If you look at the GREEN "205" sticker on the front quarter panel it reads 205/50/16. This MX5 actually competes in the 205 Cup. A specialty cup race for Roadsters where only the 205 size tire is allowed. There is also a 185 cup. When I asked Isaji-san how it handles with the skinny tires, he replied; "It will teach you how to become a better driver since you must know how to get all of the grip out of the tire size. And helps you learn the appropriate racing lines to take when on the track!"
Here are some shots from the side as well.........
I remember seeing pictures of a red one. The top is from an FD.
I can't stop fapping... That NC is so amazing. Its looks so long. Those tailights, the wheels, the front, oh man.
1990 Miata, she was red but now she is Spirit Green!
